Why on earth won't they pair?

Get one of those three dollar clownfish algae clips and put the clown clip next to the base of the anemone (usually do this before the lights on) as the anemone opens up, the clowns will notice another "clown" next to it and swim towards it. It took my tank raised clowns about an hour to notice the other clown (which was bigger then them) and now both of them host the anemone. I tried the photo method, but honestly no mattered how much I sized it down, the clowns were always scared of it. Also, I don't think clownfish have the ability to relate a flat two dimensional object to a three dimensional one. Few animals can.
